Country Guy's New Favorite Soup

For some reason I had not made this soup since we lived in Omaha. I guess I had just forgotten about it even though I added it to my cookbook and to the recipes on the Recipes #1 page. I made it last week at which time Country Guy pronounced it "his new favorite". Since I'm going to be busy during most lunchtimes this week I made it again so he could heat it up for lunch. I thought you might want to try it, so I'm sharing it this morning.

I double the recipe so I can use the entire package of sausage--usually Jimmy Dean's original. I also dissolve about 1/2 c. flour into some of the milk before I add it to the cooked vegetables to make a thicker soup. (If you don't have half & half, all milk works almost as well.)

Potato Sausage Chowder

1 c. diced onion

1/2 c. minced celery

2 T. butter or margarine

14 oz. can condensed chicken broth

1 t. salt

1/8 t. pepper

3 potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 1/2 c. milk

1/2 c. half and half

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 lb. pork sausage

Saute onions and celery in butter till tender but not browned. Add chicken broth, salt, pepper, and potatoes. Cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer till potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Add milk, half & half, parsley and cheese. Heat just till cheese begins to melt. Meanwhile shape sausage into very small balls. Fry until well browned on all sides, or just scramble the sausage and fry it. Add to chowder just before serving. Serves 4.

About Me

My name is Brenda. I love Jesus and it's my hope and desire that if you don't already, you will come to love Him, too. He is altogether lovely and always good! He loves you more than you could imagine, and He has great plans for your life. Just ask Him.

After 30+ years of living in Omaha, Nebraska, Country Guy and I returned to our roots in Illinois where we built a house in the woods on land once owned by Country Guy's great grandfather. We added a barn, a chicken house complete with chickens, and fenced pasture for our 5 beautiful quarter horses. We enjoy sharing these blessings with our family, friends, and guests who visit us from all over the world.

Our immediate family includes 3 wonderful children and their spouses, and 7 equally wonderful grandchildren.

I started this blog as a place to keep and to share my favorite things. In the process of discovering the potential of blogging I've also found it to be a great way to get the word out about news & ideas that are unpopular in today's media.

I pray that you, too, will find treasures here to keep, or share with others, and ideas to stimulate your thinking. Nothing would please me more.
